A New Course 


in Agriculture 











@NEW AND MORE flexible four year course in agriculture, leading to the Bachelor 
m| of Science degree is now offered at the University of Wisconsin, in addition to the 


regular long course. The new course will be in operation at the beginning of the school 
year, September 20, 1926. 


This course will afford a second course in agriculture. The existing course will continue to 
offer a splendid training, especially for students interested in the sciences. Realizing the import- 
ance of new fields of study and the many new opportunities open to agricultural college gradu- 
ates, this new course makes available certain advantages not found in the other course. A com- 
mon freshman year is provided; students in the old and the new course will take the same subjects 


the first year. 


The new course provides an opportunity for a much wider and broader training for those 
students who expect to specialize in agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, agricultural 
education, and agricultural journalism. It will also make an appeal to some students in animal 
husbandry, agronomy, poultry husbandry, horticulture, dairy husbandry, and economic entomology 


who wish to specialize along certain lines. 


To the young man who expects to engage in farming, the new course makes a special appeal, 


since it gives an opportunity for wide election of subjects within the college of agriculture. 


We shall be glad to answer any questions concerning either of these two courses offered in 


the College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin, if you will write to us. 


J. A. JAMES, 


Assistant Dean.

The Long Course in Agriculture 


Curriculum Changes 








Science provided the foundation for the development of the first curricula in agriculture at 
the University of Wisconsin. Practical applications of science were made in the field of plant and 


animal production. 


With an increasing interest in the economic, engineering and journalistic sides of agriculture, 
certain changes in the basic science requirements become advisable. Since the publication of the 
Long Course Circular, entitled Agriculture Calis You, the faculty has made changes in the course 
of study which give more freedom in the choice of basic science and also a greater choice in 
the selection of a portion of the fundamental courses so necessary in the thorough training of 


students expecting to engage in these new fields. 


The original curriculum is retained, with a few changes, and a second course of study offered. 
The two curricula have a common freshman year, and provide for the selection of the major at 
the beginning of the sophomore year. The student in conference with his major professor will 
decide on the course of study to be followed. It is quite probable that students within a single 


department will be following both courses, depending on the student’s objective. 


The courses of study described in this supplement are to take the place of the curriculum 
described on page 10 of the Serial No. 1366—Bulletin of the University of Wisconsin—General 
Series No. 1142, entitled Agriculture Calls You—Catalog of the Long and Middle Courses 1926- 
27, College of Agriculture, University of Wisconsin. All descriptive matter concerning gradu- 
ation requirements, grade points, physical education, military training, freshman convocation, 
farm experience, etc., as given on pages 7 to 11 remain unchanged except as changes are given 


in this supplement.
